Can You Say YUM!!! Peanut Butter Granola

Oh Yum!! and so much fun to make your own granola. The kids had a blast and it was really very tastey, and there is the added appeal of knowing exactly what is in the food you are eating. I love knowing every ingredient I am consuming, and knowing it is full of good wholesome foods that are just what we need.

Peanut Butter Granola

2 tablespoons butter

1/3 cup of natural peanut butter

1/3 cup of honey

1/2 tsp vanilla

1/4 tsp salt

3 cups rolled oats

1. melt the butter and peanut butter together in a 3 quart saucepan, add vanilla, salt, and honey. Stir this mixture untill it is hot and smooth in texture, it does not need to boil.

2. Add the oats, and stir untill they are completely covered in the peanut butter mixture, it will be chunky.

3. Spread the mixture onto a cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10 minutes. Take out of oven and let cool, it will be very brown and crispy. Break it up and store in a container.

I love to be a mother.

Some houses try to hide the fact that children shelter there. Ours boasts of it quite openly, the signs are everywhere.For smears are on the windows,little smudges on the doors,I should apologize, I guess, for toys strewn on the floor.But I sat down with the children and we played and laughed and read; And if the doorbell doesn't shine, their eyes will shine instead. For when at times I'm forced to choose the one job or the other; I like to be a housewife but I love to be a mother.
